This is a wonderful car, and it's shown in exquisite detail - 95 step-by-step "How It Was Done" photos!

Frankly, there are so many trick details on this car that even 95 photos isn't really enough; We'll just have to photograph it again next summer and see if we can fill in some gaps.  The write-up is pretty long overdue for being added to the photo gallery, so finally...  here's the link:  <a href="http://www.britishv8.org/MG/PaulSchils-MGB.htm">The Silver Bullet: Paul Schils' 1971 MGB with Ford 302 V8 Engine</a>

I think the fourteen photo sequence on installing Huffaker-style fiberglass flares is particularly interesting.

Well done!!

QuoteThis car is scary at first!  Incredible acceleration.  Awesome sound.

Amen to that!

I'm insanely jealous of Paul's skills.

ohh my gosh that's gorgeous!  I love the color choice, the attention to detail, the Frenched license plate, the interior...  I could go on!

Great work Paul!

I recognize that back yard. :-)

-BMC.

Great looking build!

That's awesome.  Really like the flares and the Mustang wheels!

Paul is a VERY talented individual - along with his better half, Mary!

That is one great-looking car.  Beautiful work, Paul!

Paul,
I like the way you took the subtle racing strip on to the dash . Also the subtle racing strip looks great without attracting law enforcement .

I don't usually like flares, but these are really, really nice.  What a good-looking car.

Beautiful car and wonderful wife!    Paul and Mary, we  really enjoyed our visit to your home back in 2008.  Thanks for your assistance during my visit.  
SAFETY FASTER!

Beautiful. My "better half" laughs at me when I show her pictures like these and talk about such things!
